I love this Gun Show. It is
huge. I have purchased several firearms there at good prices. They
usually have everything. New items, Class III, optics, old and new
firearms, gadgets, gear, knives, books, accessories, ammo (esoteric and
bulk), pretty much everything.

Anyway, I go to this gun show often. I have gone with TBolt several times. I have heard that many other bloggers attended the same show at the same time as me.

So the idea behind this Blogmeet is go to the gun show on the same day
and the all get together for dinner and drinks and hanging out for a
bit. We will meet by the Hotdog Tables, in the front of the hall, in the corner, at 1pm and 5pm. Email me and I will send you my cell number too. Look for this hat:

I also have made reservations for dinner at 5:30pm at BOB O's for 20 people. It is in the same parking lot right across from the Expo.

I mind my own business and normally don't speak to other people there unless spoken too.

Unless I see a safety issue.

In the case of safety issues I am never shy. I will ask people to be mindful of their muzzle and various other things.

I was recently at the range and it was hot. REAL hot. Tons of shooters and even a couple Uzi's rocking full auto. I turned from the line and noticed a woman there that did not have her eye protection on. She had some, but wasn't wearing them. I had gotten a hot casing burn that very day.

I simply said to her, "Range is hot. You forgot your glasses." gestured at them in case she could not here me through her ear plugs.

She looked at me like I had a shrunken head.

She didn't put on the glasses. No skin off my nose. It's her eyes. I did my duty.

Turns out she was a Range Officer.

I was a Range officer for several years at the NRA Range when I worked near there. During the training, the key thing they made clear was that RO's lead by example. ALWAYS.--Just sayin...

I don't know why Bacon goes so well with shooting. It's probably because Bacon goes well with everything.

If you have been watching the news or reading the web you already know about the horror of the expected Global Bacon Shortage!!

This time last year it was $15 a can. Now it is $23 a can!!

Oh the Humanity! If you like your Bug Out Bag to be properly provisioned, you need to get some Tactical Bacon!Make some room next to your extra ammo, in that backpack, for a can of smokey goodness.It even has a shelf life of 10 years!!--It's worth $23 a can if the pending Zombie Apocalypse hits!

I am trying to sort out a feed jam on the JR Carbine. I had 2 of these failures in 300 rounds this weekend.

As far as I can tell the bolt is not sliding back all the way to be able to pick up the back lip of the cartridge. In the large version of the image you can see where the bolt started trying to pick up the round.

It does it with force. enough to damage the bullet and the casing.It will happen with or without the suppressor and all the mags are Glock factory mags.

Another thing that may or may not be related is that it is rattling all the nut loose. Had to pause a couple times to tighten up everything.

On Sunday morning I went to NOVA Armaments to see Larry Correia who was stopping in there for a bit.

It was nice. There was a small very happy crowd. Larry was having a good day. I introduced myself and mentioned that I knew JayG and NancyR. He went on and on about how cute Susan was. He continues to monitor the increasing imbalance of like counts on Facebook.

When Larry was handed the firearm, without missing a beat in his conversation, maintaining excellent muzzle and trigger discipline, he opened and checked to see if it was loaded. No big deal. I totally respect that.

I even got a good picture of Larry, Stretch and the gun. I could not find Stretchs email address to get permission to post it. (Update: Stretch emailed me!)

--If you get a chance to see Larry on his book tour, do it. Great books. Great guy.

An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.--Robert A. Heinlein

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own... Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often mistakes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love, the greater the jealousy.

--Robert A. Heinlein

One of the sanest, surest, and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others.

--Robert A. Heinlein

Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.--Robert A. Heinlein

pepper jack cheese, hanging at my bar or at the fire pit, having a cold
beer or two.

I have been watching in the news the classic actions of Gun Grabbers dancing in the blood of recent tragedies.

They know they are losing the fight on gun control so their most recent attempts are on Bullet Control.

There are fresh calls to stop the sale of ammunition on the Internet. If they can't stop it they want to report it.

The Colorado shooter had a, OH MY GOD, Stockpile of 6000 rounds he got from the Internet. I don't consider 6000 rounds a stockpile. I call it a good start.

They also want to control the amounts of ammunition you have on hand. They are demonizing "Stockpiles". They are questioning why we "need" all that ammo.

Finally they also want to control the features of the bullets themselves. They want to limit the penetration, expansion and just basically how lethal the rounds are. They call various types names to incite fear like, "Cop Killers" or "Armor Piercing" or "Sniper Bullets", if they can penetrate body armor. "Why would you need that to hunt?".
